Dark House

It is a dark and gloomy place,
There are all the monsters in the space.
People don't dare to go on this land
There this monstrous forbidden house stand.
Some of the creatures in this place are:
Blood-thirsty gargoyles, that stand not far,
A pale woman in obsidian dress,
What devils near by can possess.
Lightning is struck on this hill,
Where no one can change it's will,
The night does not give a day,
For the sunshine to rise and shine the way.
It's hard to believe, but a soul lives here
He is sitting in one room, in the house of fear.
His lights are always turned on all day,
So he can keep the monsters away.
The monsters think, that the man will not stay,
To entertain them, to keep them at bay.
Let's all hope, that the man will stay safe in his house,
Or sneaky escape, from that place like a mouse.
